Mr Francis La Flesche told the writer in 1893 that the Omaha

Mr T. 8. Dozier” describes a game of pitarilla (pedreria), said to 
be of Pueblo origin, but doubtless of Spanish introduction : 
In this game the crosses are marked by each player in turn where the men are 
placed, the object being to get three men in a row, always in a straight line; 
then one of the opposing player's pieces, the latter being grains of corn or peb- 
bles, may be moved to the center. When all of the men of any player are moved 
by this process to the center, the other has won them. There are two figures 
used, the first [figure 1101] being a little more complicated than the other [ fig- 
ure 1102], though the same rule obtains in both. 
A boy from Santa Clara at Mother Catherine’s school at St Michael, 
Arizona, described the preceding game (figures 1101, 1102) under 
the name of bidaria (pedreria), as played at Santa Clara, and, in 
“See note, p. 160.
